As the first season of “Ghosts of Morgan City” on the Travel Channel comes to an end this Friday, the city of Morgan City, along with Cajun Coast Visitors and Convention Bureau, are sponsoring a fun-filled evening starting at 5:30 p.m.

The Meet and Greet portion of the event will begin at 5:30 p.m. with the viewing of the show following at 8 p.m. Refreshments and souvenirs will be available.
Cast members Sarah Newton Lemos, a medium, as well as Jereme Leonard, known as the Cajun Demonologist, are hosting a separate event before the Meet and Greet at the auditorium.
Leonard will be giving a demonologist 101 class from 12:30-2:00 p.m. “We will discuss basics of spiritual warfare and how energy affects our lives” Leonard said. The cost for this is $10 at the door.

Jereme Leonard, who is from Ponchatoula, Louisiana, said “my favorite part of filming in Morgan City would have to be the people. With me being from Louisiana myself, I feel like I have a deep connection with the fine citizens of Morgan City and St. Mary Parish.”
Morgan City Mayor Frank “Boo” Grizzaffi, who was featured in the show, said he has watched all the episodes and “they are all good. Whether you are a believer or a skeptic, they showcase the city, which is a win-win for Morgan City and St. Mary Parish.”
